2011 IMPREZA WRX - the rally inspired performer

The 2011 WRX now features the wide-body WRX STI design, known for its rally-winning performance.
Front and rear track is wider by about 1.5 inches and features stiffer rear subframe bushings. The WRX also receives larger wheels, wider tires, an improved audio system that integrates Bluetooth® phone and streaming audio connectivity and iPod® control capability. The WRX STI now comes in two body styles, 4-door and 5-door. And the wing is back. The 4-door design has the striking larger rear spoiler to create less drag for a higher top speed. You also get a lowered ride height, stiffer front and rear bushings and thicker front and rear stabilizer bars. So you can get more Gs and more Geez.

Buckle up. The all-new 2011 Subaru WRX and WRX STI are bringing rally-inspired speed and street style to loyal brand owners and buyers looking for a real adrenaline rush. To maintain market dominance, key modifications to both models have improved aesthetics, performance and will stoke enthusiast's passion.

You'll see a shared wide-body design and for the first time, the WRX STI comes in 4-door and 5-door
designs. And we're just getting started. Included in this booklet are details on vehicle positioning, target prospect information, model options and marketing timeline. Use the following Subaru pre-launch and launch information to effectively prepare for the unveiling of the new 2011 WRX and WRX STI. Hang on tight.

2011 IMPREZA WRX STI - to make it, we start at fast

Subaru performance fans have been eagerly awaiting the next Impreza WRX STI sedan. Finally, the wait is over. For the 2011 model year, the STI will once again be available in sedan form.

Along with the hatchback, the STI sedan has been engineered to be even more precise. This includes larger front and rear stabilizer bars, increased spring rates, and stiffer rear sub-frame bushings. And of course, the sedan features the iconic STI rear spoiler, which has been tuned to increase downforce, while reducing the car's overall drag coefficient.

Returning for model year 2011, is the STI's potent turbocharged SUBARU BOXER^® engine, which cranks out 305-horsepower and 290 lb-ft of torque. It's mated to a 6-speed manual transmission and Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive. The rally-tuned sport suspension, exclusive Brembo^® braking system, and Driver Controlled Center Differential (DCCD) help keep all that power in check.

Subaru brings back the wing - renewing their commitment to clandestine street racers everywhere with this addition to its ultimate-performance model line (which includes also a five-door hatch).

To maximize handling the driver can select among "Intelligent," "Sport" and "Sport Sharp" automatic driving modes; and there's a manual mode with six driver-selectable differential locking settings. The Intelligent mode would probably be called Comfort by most other manufacturers because it's your basic everyday commuting setting. Sport provides quick throttle response and "powerful, linear acceleration," as Subaru puts it. Sport Sharp just amps up all the performance a little bit more.

The Subaru WRX STI rides on standard 18-inch aluminum wheels that weigh 17.6 pounds less than the previous standard wheels (for performance, every pound counts). The rubber on the wheels are Dunlop SP600 245/40R18 summer performance tires.

Cost? A base price around $35,000 is expected.

Subaru says - "The continuous evolution and development of the WRX STI is driven by the strong, loyal and vocal support from the thousands of enthusiastic Subaru owners of this exciting high-performance vehicle," said Tom Doll, executive vice president and chief operating officer of Subaru of America. "The 2011 four-door WRX STI will expand the appeal of this iconic performance model to a wider range of driving enthusiasts."





IMPREZA WRX - better grip for a sharper edge
Wherever, or however you drive, if you want action, you need traction. Getting power to the pavement and holding the road is essential. There are only 4 small patches of rubber that keep you in control of your vehicle. The more your tires are engaged the more control you have. Subaru has spent 40 years developing a system of traction and control that creates balance and stability. It connects you to the road in a way you'll find exhilarating.

IMPREZA WRX - we made it fast, you make it yours
When it comes to the WRX - power is its superpower. With a peak horsepower of 265, this high- performance machine gives you a lot to work with. Of course it is not just what you've got; it's how you use it. Combine the wide power band with Subaru Symmetrical All Wheel Drive and the tires that come standard on the WRX, and just make sure your seat belt is securely fastened.

Intensified power, Legendary traction, Cutting-edge control, Customized performance

"My car is who I am. I take charge, take the lead and never give i t up. Performance is key. Yeah, I'm pushing into my late 30's, but I'm not one to act my age. Like my little bro, I'm into skiing, snowboarding and the latest gadgets. He loves the WRX-a sweet ride-but I've got more coin to drop. And I've done my homework, so I'm getting exactly what I want. The WRX STI gives me so much speed and style, it'll make the guys in my fantasy league freak. I love it. I've also researched the Mitsubishi Lancer EVO, Nissan 370Z, Infiniti G37 Coupe and BMW 135i as well, but the WRX STI wins hands down."
